P2721

Moderate

Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Control Circuit High

What Does P2721 Mean?

The TCM has detected voltage in the pressure control solenoid D circuit is higher than specifications. This typically indicates a short to power in the wiring or a failed TCM output driver stuck high.

Common Causes

40%

Short to voltage in solenoid D control circuit wiring

Transmission Wiring Harness

30%

Failed TCM with shorted output driver stuck at high voltage

Transmission Control Module

20%

Failed pressure control solenoid D with internal short to power

Pressure Control Solenoid D

8%

Damaged connector causing cross-circuit short to power wire

Solenoid Connector
Transmission Harness Connector

2%

Wiring harness damaged by heat or rubbing causing short to power

Transmission Wiring Harness

Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Disconnect pressure control solenoid D connector and check voltage at harness side (should be 0V)

2

Step 2: If voltage is present at disconnected harness, trace wiring for short to power source

3

Step 3: Inspect wiring harness routing for damage near power wires or hot components

4

Step 4: With solenoid disconnected, command solenoid on/off with scan tool and monitor TCM output voltage

5

Step 5: If TCM output remains high regardless of command, suspect failed TCM output driver

Estimated Repair Cost

$200 - $1,200

Frequently Asked Questions

What does P2721 mean?

The TCM has detected voltage in the pressure control solenoid D circuit is higher than specifications. This typically indicates a short to power in the wiring or a failed TCM output driver stuck high.

What causes P2721?

The most common cause of P2721 (Pressure Control Solenoid "D" Control Circuit High) is: Short to voltage in solenoid D control circuit wiring

How much does it cost to fix P2721?

Typical repair costs for P2721 range from $200 to $1,200, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.

Is it safe to drive with P2721?

May cause transmission to remain in one gear or activate limp mode. Solenoid may be energized continuously, potentially causing overheating or improper pressure control.

How do I diagnose P2721?

Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P2721 to identify the root cause.
